"It appears that you've got the offer of a very good job." "聽說有個很好的工作要你去干。"
"A wonderful job." "挺好的工作"。
"Are you going to take it?" "打算干嗎？
"I don't think so."？ "不。"
"Why not?'"為什么不干？"
"I don't want to.""不想干"。
    這是日常生活中的一段對話，其特點是：用詞自由，句法結構簡單，短句與省略句多，自然樸素，生活氣息濃厚。在譯文中進一步體現漢語口語的特點，省去主語"你"、"我"；將英語的一個句子I don't think so.干脆譯成一個字"不"，顯得簡潔有力。
      She was of a helpless, fleshy build, with a frank, open countenance and an innocent, diffident manner. Her eyes were large and patient, and in them dwelt such a shadow of distress as only those who hxdye looked sympathetically into the countenances of the distraught and helpless poor know anything about.

     那婦人生著一副綿軟多肉的體格，一張坦率開誠的面容，一種天真羞怯的神氣。一雙大落落的柔順眼睛，里邊隱藏著無窮的心事，只有那些對于凄惶無告的窮苦人面目作過同情觀察的人才看得出來。

     上面五十一個詞的片斷,就運用了十個形容詞,占五分之一。"and in then dwelt such a shadow of distress"是非常優美生動的文學語言，譯文保持了一風格。

      MONTREAL-Clark Johns accomplished a spectacular debut for his NHL career tonight, the first score launching a four -point first period out burst, to lead the Johnson City High Hats to a 6:4 victory over the Montreal Teals and their eighth consecutive game without a loss.

        The range of a voltmeter may be extended by means of a series resistor called a multiplier as shown in Fig.2.The full-scale reading of the

       meter alone may be 15volts.With the multiplier 250volts may be required to move the pointer to full-scale, 135 volts across the multiplier and 15volts across the meter.
      從上述的一段科技文章，不難看出其文體與修辭手段與前面列舉的文藝小說，新聞報道等迥然不同?？萍嘉捏w崇尚嚴謹周密，概念準確，邏輯性強，行文簡練，重點突出，句式嚴整，少有變化，常用前置性陳述，即在句中將主要信息盡量前置，通過主語傳遞主要信息?？萍嘉恼挛捏w的特點是：清晰、準確、精練、嚴密。那末，科技文章的語言結構特色在翻譯過程中如何處理，這是進行英漢科技翻譯時需要探討的問題?，F分述如下：

大量使用名詞化結構

大量使用名詞化結構（Nominalization）是科技英語的特點之一。因為科技文體要求行文簡潔、表達客觀、內容確切、信息量大、強調存在的事實。而非某一行為。
Archimedes first discovered the principle of displacement of water by solid bodies.
阿基米德最先發展固體排水的原理。
句中of displacement of water by solid bodies 系名詞化結構，一方面簡化了同位語從句，另一方強調displacement 這一事實。
The rotation of the earth on its own axis causes the change from day to night.
地球繞軸自轉，引起晝夜的變化。
名詞化結構the rotation of the earth on its own axis 使復合句簡化成簡單句，而且使表達的概念更加確切嚴密。
If you use firebricks round the walls of the boiler, the heat loss, can be considerably reduced.
爐壁采用耐火磚可大大降低熱耗。
科技英語所表述的是客觀規律，因之要盡量避免使用第一、二人稱；此外，要使主要的信息置于句首。
Television is the transmission and reception of images of moving objects by radio wxdyes.
電視通過無線電波發射和接受活動物體的圖象。
名詞化結構the transmission and reception of images of moving objects by radio wxdyes 強調客觀事實，而"謂語動詞則著重其發射和接受的能力。
